radsbow - 20/7/2005 2:04 PM Just as a matter of interest - do the likes of Bowsports / Altservices etc. Purchase their product ranges direct from the suppliers, such as Hoyt, Win & Win etc. or do they use a 3rd party supplier???

I looked into this...</p>
Aparantly Quicks import their own stuff direct... They are UK supplier for Hoyt/ Easton and other makes. But Quicks is very expensive, if you were a shop, sourcing from them no doubt they woulld not supply you or up the cost so you cant compete.</p>
I think ALt and Bowsports source their equipment from a european supplier called JVD in Holland. However bowsports i think import Matthews bows direct from the USA.</p>
With only one UK supplier and only one major european supplier, there is no competition to drive down costs.</p>
Maybe everyone on AI should chip in so we can open a 'peoples' shop - Great service and Low prices ala Tesco : D We can all own some shares.</p>
